Orcas Island Energy Vortex CBS

Circa early 90's - CBS (I think) sent a crew to Orcas Island to seek information about the reported energy vortex in front of The Outlook Inn.

I found the whole island magical! I was sent there by my Shaman friend to complete my healing. I lived here five years. I met several people like me, sent here for spiritual reasons from different religious traditions. The island people that live here year round don't like outside people that much. Surprise, surprise! I did my healing here with my mentor and a traditional Shaman. Everyone told me that the island has a place for you if you are meant to be here. And if you're not, she kicks you off! It was my time to leave. I never felt so much peace than I felt here. You are so close to the love of our great Mother here. You really step into another world. 🙏💜

@humanzeez4realz You are totally correct - there is a major gas leak up here causing delusions. There are trees all over the place and they are leaking oxygen all around us. The effects include kindness, chillaxin', overgrown organic vegetables, sense of community, and willingness to consider possibilities that are oftentimes incomprehensible to those living in densely populated urban areas that are overrun with strip malls and fast food restaurants. Stay away... stay far away from this place.

Interestingly, I've been jumping through hoops with the department of historic preservation (archaeologists) as I'm trying to build a building on land that is on the beach right next to that Island. Through the discovery process we have found that Native Americans lived on that land for 4,000 years (that we know about so far) in a year-round village with hundreds of residents. It's amazing to ponder what it would take to stay there through the winter with no windows - the storms are serious!

I grew up on orcas, the energy vortex is not on Indian island (the island in front of the outlook inn) it’s on turtle back then there’s another one in deer harbor.

[@sparkiefuntime]

Where’s the one in deer harbor? I just moved here a couple months ago and definitely felt the vortex on turtle back

Just came back from a visit to orcas island and stayed at the outlook inn. The people there are kinda weird but friendly. We stayed in the older hotel rooms. Rooms 12 and 13. I woke up at 1:30am to a young girl humming a song. At first I thought it was my sister snoring but I took my ear plug out and listened again and yup definitely a young girl humming. I was so. freaked out that I prayed until I fell back to sleep. When I woke up I looked up hauntings and sure enough outlook hotel is listed as haunted. Scary!!

I remember this guy, Starr, who owned the Outlook Inn. My hippy parents in the early 80s believed in this vortex and became followers of his. Very weird.

Ross Shafer has the confidence of a morning show host that doesn't realize that he is just terrible.

I dont know about a vortex. I fished for rock cod in that area, and often walked out to the little island (We'll call it Indian Island, hope that does not offend anyone) and enjoyed the peaceful feeling that came from the ambience of the area. As an employee of the Outlook in the early 90's, I saw strange craft quite often in the evening skies. I did not talk about these too often, except a time when 5 of us saw the same craft, in which, then, noone could say that I was "trippin".

[@bennyboyellis]

I live on the north beach of Orcas. I'll show you strange things in the sky on a weekly basis

[@axouldu78]

@@bennyboyellis I wanna see! Will be interesting to meet you in orcas Island. I'm actually in Seattle and gonna plan a trip to visit spiritual places as mt shasta, port Townsend and orcas

[@ashlieohms]

Yeah there’s tons of alien sightings up there. Pretty sure everyone on the island has had at least one experience while living there.

[@sparkyszone]

@jerrpike Both Starr and Lewis did have a strange, uncanny ability to read deeper into individuals than most people are aware of. Hippies in the 80's? Now that is hard to beleive.LOL

[@WizzleThump]

@jerrpike Did they give him any money?

[@shniddles]

@adamstarr Right on!

[@marleneengleman88]

Been there. In 2005. Magical sorry to see the mass rush to make it a Hugh exclusive for rich. Ruin it.

[@Bellinghamster]

Sounds like a bunch of sillyness to keep the INN busy and profitable with a fun story. I would love it if the vortex were real actually.

[@ashlieohms]

Yeah I think he’s lying about it being on Indian island bc it’s in front of his hotel. It’s real but it’s on turtle back, there’s a metal plaque where it’s at.

[@laserlithuanian]

it is real

[@devonferris]

Bullshit hahaha, way for that owner to advertise and get more tourist traffic.
